About Connecting Flights & Security

Procedures upon arrival in ORD are different depending on if you have checked your luggage or simply have carry-on. If your luggage is checked through to your final destination , or you only have carry-on luggage, you will not have to worry about claiming any luggage or going through screening again. If you do however have to leave the secure area for any reason, such as claiming a checked bag, you will be resubmitted for screening by TSA.
